Pakistan’s security forces killed 13 militants in two separate operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province between December 12 and 13, according to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The operations took place in Mohmand and Bannu districts, targeting members of the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), referred to by the military as ‘Fitna al-Kharij’. Seven militants were killed in Mohmand and six in Bannu after intense firefights.
The ISPR claimed the militants had received backing from India, an allegation that could further strain bilateral relations. Pakistan’s security agencies have intensified counterterrorism efforts following a surge in militant attacks across the northwest. Last month, 22 militants were killed in a similar operation in Bannu. The Global Terrorism Index 2025 ranked Pakistan second worldwide for terrorism impact, with a 45% rise in deaths from attacks compared to the previous year.
Analysts warn that despite frequent operations, militant networks remain resilient in border regions, posing ongoing security and diplomatic challenges for Islamabad.
